Graded Stakeswinners will be retrieved once a search against a Stallion and Mare has been performed.

Aptitude Profile

The Aptitude Profile shows the Age and Distance range of Stakeswinners bred with this pattern. The larger the Red Dot, the more winners in that category. Place your mouse over a Red Dot to see a list of horses that won in that category.

A 20/20 mating occurs when a pattern has two or more Graded
Stakes Winners with CSI values above 20. This indicates that
this pedigree is exceptional as there are at least two
superior horses with a very similar pattern.

This web page will show Graded Stakes Winners from around the world that have a
similar pedigree to your proposed mating. Based on the concept of "Dig for Gold
where Gold has been found before", it makes sense that your breeding plans should
look to replicate pedigrees of champion runners and the analysis should look at
the entire pedigree.

Results List - This list will appear on the left side of the page after you click
the "Match Similar Pedigrees" button. It shows Graded Stakes winning horses that
have a similar pedigree to your proposed mating.

Results List Columns:CSI or "Common Similarity Index" is a measure
of how close the pedigree of the Graded Stakes Winner matches the hypo-mating. In
general, values above 18 indicate a strong similarity. As a rule of thumb, if the
results list shows 4 or more horses with CSI of 18 or above, it is usually a good
mating. If it shows 2 or more horses with CSI above 20, it is usually an exceptional
mating. (The Results List is sorted by the CSI column, so the closest matches will
appear at the top. )

E is for "Exact" matches - this column shows a
count of the number of ancestors in the 5-gen pedigree which appear in Exactly the
same position.

A 20/20 Mating:
A 20/20 mating occurs when a pattern has two or more Graded Stakes Winners with
CSI values above 20. This indicates that this pedigree is exceptional as there are
at least two superior horses with a very similar pattern. In most cases the stud
farm will offer special incentives for the breeder to send their mare to the selected
stallion.
